1958 10' Hardy Perfection 2 piece Split Cane fly fishing rod with 2 tops & Former

The rod is complete with 2 different tips and its original hardwood former. 

The rod is signed 1958 Hardy’s Perfection. Hunsonby, & E.A Burne.

The reel ring is stamped with the Royal Warrant 'Crown' and Prince of Wales Feathers

Apart from an old professional repair to the smaller tip, the rod and former appear to be in 100% original condition and to have had very little use. The photos show that even the laces on the wooden former look original with no wear.

The rod has black whipping and agate butt & tip rings. The bottom section is 5’ long and the 2 tips are 57” & 58” long. As can be seen the tips have slightly different ring spacing. It is the shorter that has been repaired.  

Both the rod and former are in absolutely amazing original condition.

The original owner, E.A Beal, has also signed the former.
